Man I've tried to find some video to be able to hear it but nothing yet. All I find is "live" which means I get to see a torch...

Haven't seen it. If it's classical music from Russia, I'll probably know what it is. If it's pop or rock, I probably won't.

The opening piece of music (with the vocals) is something I've heard before in prog music, but at the moment I can't seem to pinpoint the act nor the tune.
Can anyone enlighten me here? Beautiful piece too.

That should not be surprising since Uncle Joe was from that neck of the woods , in neighboring Georgia! (He is still worshiped there, sadly!). The good thing about Olympics is that its the only 'peaceful' multi-national interface where there are no casualties , no collateral damage , no nukes , no bloodshed. Its still a better alternative than war!

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

The one and only Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, the only competitor in the ski jumping from dear old Blighty. A legend in his own lunchbox, he was utterly hapless, but the British media and public loved him and he had a good bout of celeb status.

A bit unfair Dean.
I see Google has a little dig at the Russian anti-gay stance. |

Once again I suspect team GB will be celebrating its mediocrity.

I always seem to enjoy watching the Olympics, but aside from hockey it is the only time that I watch the majority of these sports/competitions. I always have a hard time with the ones that are decided by judges. As a casual observer the scores and ratings always seem to be quite arbitrary to fit the results as they are predetermined prior to the Olympics. I'm not the most patriotic of people, but I guess that I do tend to feel a bit of national pride watching these competitions. I can't say that I particularly care one way or another about the politics that surround the games. To me it is really just about the athletes and the sports.

The truly important sports event of the year starts in June.
I've never cared for the Olympics and less so for the winter ones. But the fact that they are held so close to Stalin's old resort and rest house make this ones more interesting. If only because I just read a gigantic book about him where the word Sochi was mentioned a million times

I look forward to the news and radio stretching our 'success' beyond what it is.
"...a total of 'x' medals so far..." Yeah. 90% of them bronze.
